Remember When Bill Clinton Pledged Funds to Add Police to Schools?

Topics:

For all the hoopla and derision from leftists and their media over the NRA suggesting there should be police on guard at schools, there was no such mockery from the left back in 1999 when Bill Clinton thought it was a good idea:

Marking the first anniversary of the shooting deaths at Columbine High School, President Clinton announced $120 million in new federal grants Saturday to place more police officers in schools and help even the youngest kids cope with their problems.

"In our national struggle against youth violence we must not fail our children; our future depends on it," the president said in his weekly radio address.

Same goes for the major teacher's union that announced opposition today to protecting children from would-be killers.
